There are numerous accusations on the internet suggesting that Potomac Kennels purchases its animals from puppy mills. The committee was informed about this well over a year ago in 2008. Nevertheless, it doesn't seem appropriate for a substantial fundraising organization for a serious healthcare cause to auction off "live animals," whether they are from puppy mills or some more reputable sources, as a means of raising money.

One or two quibbles though. 1. Blondie are a BAND. Debbie Harry is the lead singer of Blondie. Yes I know that some people use the term interchangeably but it doesn't always pay respect to the other band members. 2. It may be right to call Blondie a quintessentially American band but we in the UK like to think that the band really hit its stride following the massive popularity achieved in Britain. Something which still applies to the present day. 3. You refer to Blondie as an 80's band. I would tend to think of them as a 70's band, as this is when most of their best music was produced. Apart from that a thumbs up to the National Kidney Foundation for choosing the greatest band ever, fronted by the greatest rock goddess ever to walk the face of the earth.
